"I have recently started with John Deere as a Marketing
Graduate, and am loving it! The company culture is great and I’ve had some
wonderful opportunities within the Program. I am gaining knowledge
of the organisational functions through weekly visits with various
departments and benefit immensely from rural visits with Dealers and
customers. I am really looking forward to continuing my career with John Deere."
Tom Hensgen: Engineering Degree
"Coming
from a farming background, I wanted to apply my engineering knowledge to the
agricultural industry. Since joining the company I have not only gained an
extensive understanding of the technology used within the agriculture
industry, but have also been given the opportunity to develop a broad
understanding of the functions within a
global business environment."
Emma Ford: Commerce/Marketing Degree
"Since joining the company as a graduate I have worked in various departments which has given me a great foundation for my career at John Deere going forward. There is significant opportunity to partake in different projects and initiatives to make a positive impact on the business."
Damien Effeney: Agri- Science Degree
"A great deal happens in one year at John Deere. After entering the graduate program, I have had the opportunity to travel in almost every state of Australia, as well as the USA. I have worked in several departments and had exposure to all elements of the business, from market planning and research to working with customers on developing new products. And while the graduate program provides a great opportunity to develop and learn, it is the encouragement, and ability, to shape your career which I think is its greatest value."
Kym Grimmett: Business Degree
"Working for a company that strives for integrity, quality, innovation and commitment to deliver exceptional performance, makes it easy to be passionate about the work I do. Beginning my career as a graduate for John Deere helped equip me with the skills and knowledge to step into other challenging roles within the company while also having the opportunity to travel, live and work overseas."
Simon King: Engineering (Mechanical) Degree
"I joined John Deere Ltd at the beginning of 2006 after completing a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) and have thoroughly enjoyed the variety of challenging and interesting work that the graduate program has provided. The opportunities that exist in John Deere have allowed me to take up exciting and challenging roles within the company, currently as Territory Customer Support Manager in Western Victoria.
